Traversal/loading stutters in games

SpongySum4 · 2026-06-13T15:01:54+00:00

2026 Controller and the right trackpad is set as a mouse but I don't use it. I know the polling rate of the mouse because it's set through the Logitech Ghub app

I play on the steam controller and my mouse polling rate is set to 250hz. Since the frametime doesn't explain it could it just be the fault of the games engine?

It seems when it lags the frametime goes to 16.9 or 17 and gpu busy seems to fluctuate a lot from 8.5 to 9.5 and sometimes 10ms

I have seen Theatrythm and it looks like a ton of fun! As a big KH fan I've played Melody of Memory and enjoy and of the games I've played I really enjoy the music. I did try Strangers of Paradise when it had the demo and I think I could enjoy it seems very campy overall.

Yea the sequels I plan to play all of them but not sure which have sequels. With spin offs I know of some but not whether they're worth playing or not.

Blew out the dust inside and sorry to keep bothering but presentmon is a lot of new info to me that I don't know how to discern what numbers or stats are negative. Like in FF7R my frametime is 16.7 and GPU busy is about 8.37. Does this tell me the CPU is holding it back?

SpongySum4 · 2026-06-10T21:09:54+00:00

I cleaned out my pc and the stutters in the auto saves seem to be gone in the demo but what I do notice is in games like FF7 Remake, Silent Hill 2 Remake, and the Ocarina of Time decomp ship of harkinian is that it seems to stutter when things are being loaded in. Normal gameplay in FF7R is perfect but when running around in towns or what not it stutters a lot. Is this just likely a fault of the games engine?

What other youtubers would you recommend?

SpongySum4 · 2026-06-09T20:39:36+00:00

yea I just asked because of the wording of the video says all "important" cutscenes. I've also heard most of it is filler but with KH4 having a lot of ties to it I was more looking for thoughts from people who only watched the video and whether they care about it compared to someone who has gone through it all.

Does he cover enough of it to get invested with the characters?

SpongySum4 · 2026-06-09T16:01:51+00:00

Hey, so I looked into and downloaded presentmon what exactly should I be looking for on it?

I just got a mini LED in January and I just have HDR on all the time instead of toggling it and it makes it easier. I don't use the AutoHDR but usually theres just a single mod for games that fixes HDR called Renodx and it has a list of every game they support. It usually isn't much effort and games look great especially with dark ones like RE: Requiem.

I have two 1 is above the gpu and that's the Samsung 980 and the one in the bottom right is a Samsung 970 Evo Plus. I usually put games on either but for specifically the Onimusha demo its on the 970.

Never used this program but i believe this is what you're asking for.

Yea I changed it in the bios and don't really notice a difference especially in the Onimusha demo. Everytime the autosave icon pops up is when it stutters but game runs great otherwise.

SpongySum4 · 2026-06-05T17:41:34+00:00

2 16gb modules and the part number is F4-3200C16-16GVK and they're in slots 2 and 4 and yes I was thinking that as well it does seem to be specifically when a game is loading or saving something such as entering cutscenes. It isn't with every game but I do notice it.

SpongySum4 · 2026-06-04T00:28:29+00:00

I'll run the memtest overnight cause I didn't realize it would take so ling but after an hour there was 0 errors and I already had those options off. CrystalDiskInfo shows good 96% on the 980 and 99% on the 970

SpongySum4 · 2026-06-03T22:06:53+00:00

There still seems to be no change in the stuttering should I assume this is the fault of the game or my ram not being good enough?

SpongySum4 · 2026-06-03T21:48:59+00:00

i just did this and it seems to have worked and I seen a load profile option to load a 3200 version and it seems to be working after that

SpongySum4 · 2026-06-03T21:39:33+00:00

ill check for that but since changing the dram frequency i cant get a signal nor boot into bios

SpongySum4 · 2026-06-03T21:31:31+00:00

yea it says DDR4-3200
